It doesn't really "credit" the ACA - the guy admits it wasn't studied but "suggests" the decrease could be attributed to ACA.  Which, to me, means pretty much it's unsubstantiated spin. Don't get me wrong - I'll take it if it means lower abortion numbers!  If women want to pay crazy-high...

From Guttmacher.org, January 2015: During the 2014 state legislative session, lawmakers introduced 335 provisions aimed at restricting access to abortion. By the end of the year, 15 states had enacted 26 new abortion restrictions. Including these new provisions, states have adopted 231 new...

"Leonard Nelson, 60, of Middletown, husband of Diane (Newton) Nelson, passed away unexpectedly on August 27, 2016 ...  He is a graduate of Hyles Anderson College where he received his Bachelors of Science Degree. Leonard was an avid Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Twins fan." :'(

^ That looks like Charles Hand on the far right.  He passed away last week.  He's the reason my parents came to FBC in the early 60's. 

Speaking of the old church, some of you may have known the former bus pastor, Charles Hand.  He was recently interviewed by USA Today concerning the problem with the VA.    He has Stage 4 cancer and is not expected to live very far into the new year.  His wife, Katie, passed away suddenly just...

LOL - well, once again, I thank you for the thoughtful & insightful discussion!  8)

I agree.  I like having it.

1.  I don't think you or anyone can claim what "any Christian" should think, but maybe that's just me. 2.  I didn't say I felt he left a good legacy and I certainly didn't say it was a good "Christian" legacy.  But, for instance, welfare reform is frequently sited as a success of the Bill...

You're entitled to think I'm wrong, but you shouldn't try to imply I'm uninformed.    :P

No, I could not cast a vote for Trump.  If he's the nominee against Hillary, I would only vote if it looked like he had a chance of winning - in which case, I'd vote against him.  Reason: I believe Hillary would (like her husband) work hard to leave behind a good presidential legacy.  I think...

Maybe off topic, but here's a visitor's perspective.  I go to church occasionally, typically when there's a music group I want to hear.  When my daughter was still attending Cedarville, the school sent a group to sing at a local church so we went to see them.  Early in the service, the pastor...

I agree!  My daughter has one that says "But God..."  and when anyone asks, she quotes Ephesians 2:4.  A great door-opener in her work with troubled teens.

The only advice I would give is to think long term when choosing design & placement.  I have a tattoo - I got it in 2013 at the age of 52 (I was already a grandmother!)  It's the word "Stronger" in black & pink letters, placed between the scar from my chemo port and the scar from my...

I remember being in the old auditorium and  Bro. H would be matching up pastors with host families like he was an auctioneer.  "Who will take these two? Ok, now can you take 4 more?"  It was actually a sweet & exciting time, seeing people sacrifice and open up their homes. I also remember the...

But that was my entire point, and then you replied to it.  Silly of me, I guess, to connect the two.  :D

By "they" do you mean every gay person in America?  The world? I'm not saying the events you describe didn't happen, I'm saying it's not fair or accurate to claim that any group of people all think & feel the same way.  I don't know any gay activists or lobbyists, but the gay people I do know...

It's not fair or accurate to claim that an entire group of people all think the same way.  Besides, nobody had to take a pre-marital blood test; you could've chosen to stay single, or moved to a state where testing wasn't required (which I suspect were the same options available to The Gays).

That's so good to know!! Thanks, bgw.

Does this mean Brian is simply unemployed until "if/when someone calls for him"? 

It's not fair or accurate to subscribe one way of thinking to an entire group of people, though perhaps you were being intentionally hyperbolic.  It's kind of hard to tell.  ;) From the article:  "A real evidence-based policy would focus on the risk activities of donors, not the identity of...
